Qualcomm's New Snapdragon X CPUs Usher in the Microsoft Copilot AI PC Era: First Look at Features and Performance

In recent developments, Qualcomm has launched its new Snapdragon X CPUs, marking the beginning of the Microsoft Copilot AI PC era. The first fully Microsoft Copilot compliant platform offers out-of-the-box support for AI features such as Microsoft's Auto SR technology (Brett Ostrum, Anshel Sag, Forbes).

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X platform is not only leading in terms of AI performance but also the first to be fully compliant with Microsoft Copilot. This collaboration between Qualcomm and Microsoft aims to provide users with the latest AI features that competitors will only incorporate in later updates (Digitimes).

Some of these features include Microsoft's Auto SR technology, an automatic super-resolution technology that can improve performance for gamers. The chips feature up to 12 cores, 42 MB of cache, up to 4.2 GHz clock speeds, up to 45 AI TOPS (Windows Central), and support for LPDDR5x-8448 memory.

The first Copilot PCs will be available from OEM partners such as Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and Microsoft itself. The prices for these high-performance devices start at $999 US (Wccftech).

Microsoft's decision to exclusively use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series platform for the Copilot PC was initially met with skepticism due to the market's long-standing trust in x86 architecture for Windows PCs. However, Microsoft and Qualcomm's aggressive push and exclusive partnership have alleviated initial concerns (Digitimes).

The rapid development of AI application algorithms and related functions will continue to improve Copilot PC performance, allowing users to experience enhancements in real time (Digitimes).

Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs Have Changed What It Means To Be An AI PC

Forbes Magazine Anshel Sag Tuesday, 11 June 2024 00:00
  • Unique Points
    • Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella introduced Copilot+ at the Build conference.
    • Copilot+ is Microsoft's definition of an advanced AI PC, focusing on NPU hardware accelerators for AI workloads in new Surface Pro (Gen 11) and Surface Laptop (Gen 7).
    • These devices are part of Microsoft's own approach to hardware, reflecting the company's priorities for PC design.
    • The new Surface Laptop with Copilot+ supports up to three 4K displays with the screen on, in contrast to Apple's M3 MacBook Air which supports dual monitors only with the laptop closed.

  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of inflammatory rhetoric. It also uses the term 'AI PC' which can be considered imprecise, but since it is used consistently throughout the piece, it does not rise to the level of a formal fallacy.
    • While it remains clear that different companies use varying definitions of the AI PC, Microsoft’s appears to be both the narrowest and the broadest, depending on which angle you’re looking from.
    • Microsoft’s tip of the spear for Copilot+ has been its own Surface brand of PCs. At its pre-Build 2024 event at the company’s Redmond, Washington HQ, Microsoft announced two new Surface PCs; the Surface Pro (Gen 11) and Surface Laptop (Gen 7) are each designed to meet the company’s new direction in software and hardware.
    • The new Surface Laptop with Copilot+ also supports up to three 4K displays with the screen on, which is an amusing jab at Apple’s peculiar limitation on the M3 MacBook Air, which supports dual monitors only with the laptop closed.
